But I saw that the the .bbl file was sorted. I then found that when you add sorttype=bbl as an argument to \setuppublications (so, in your example use \setuppublications[refcommand=authoryear,sorttype=bbl]) and use \placepublications[] you will get the cited publications sorted alphabetically by author name. I later saw that this solution was already given by Aditya Mahajan in ntg-context Digest, Vol 76, Issue 141 Date: 29 oktober 2010, Message 4, Subject: sorttype for bibtex Regards, Robert Blackstone

The Wiki about Context on Debian

http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Debian_installation was very outdated. I tried to update it. Could someone have a look over it if everything is ok now? Kind regards, -- Jonas Stein <news(a)jonasstein.de>

how to flip even pages upside down??
by Leo Razoumov 01 Dec '10

01 Dec '10

Hi List, I am a new ConTeXt user coming from LaTeX background. To print duplex on my printer I need to flip even pages upside down. I looked into section 3.7 "Arranging Pages" of the latest ConTeXt manual (2010-10-26). It shows how to setup very elaborate page compositions but somehow I failed to find a solution for my little problem. Any help/advice is greatly appreciated. --Leo--

seeking 'hello world' example for Arabic typesetting with conTeXt
by Jon Crump 01 Dec '10

01 Dec '10

Dear all, I'm gradually getting my head around using ConTeXt to typeset texts marked up in TEI/XML. I'm trying to typeset an English/Arabic text and I keep breaking my teeth on the Arabic. I'm trying to do what I can with the macTeX 2010 distribution, but the documentation on the conTeXt wiki has me confused. The amount I don't know about TeX is truly daunting, but clearly there are some basic things about font management that I don't understand. I thought I had found a minimal example in http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Arabic_and_Hebrew that I could use as a starting point. After saving it locally as ara-sty.tex I tried to typeset: % engine=luatex \environment ara-sty \starttext \setarabic أهلا بالعالم! \stoptext a PDF was produced but it contained no text save for !. Among the things that conTeXt told me was: !define font : font with name arabtype is not found !define font : unknown font arabtype, loading aborted !define font : unable to define arabtype as \*Arabic20ptrmtf* Where should I look for this font? Where is conTeXt looking for it? If I were to find it, where should I put it? I gather that fonts on my system can be used, but font metric files for them have to be generated. How to do that? Apologies for the unfocused tyro questions, but the TeX world has become so much larger than it was when I last used it that I feel quite at sea with all the available documentation. thanks, Jon

\setuptyping: font size
by Procházka Lukáš Ing. - Pontex s. r. o. 01 Dec '10

01 Dec '10

Hello, I'm trying to \setuptyping to use a 8pt font size [of a tt typeface]. Here are my trials - in several cases I get the wanted result but with error messages: --- t.mkiv \enableregime[cp1250] %\setuptyping[default][style=\ttxx\setupinterlinespace] % This works somehow but with errors \setuptyping[default][bodyfont=8pt,style=\tt\setupinterlinespace] % This works somehow but with errors %\setuptyping[default][style=\eightpoint\tt\setupinterlinespace] %\setuptyping[default][style=\viii\tt\setupinterlinespace] %\setuptyping[default][bodyfont=viii,style=\tt\setupinterlinespace] %\setuptyping[default][bodyfont=sixpoint,style=\tt\setupinterlinespace] \starttext \typefile[default]{t.mkiv} \stoptext --- A part of the error message: --- !

So what is the CORRECT way how to select a specific font size for \setuptyping or \typefile? Kind regards, Lukas -- Ing. Lukáš Procházka [mailto:LPr@pontex.cz] Pontex s. r. o.

Indent after Float
by Andreas Harder 01 Dec '10

01 Dec '10

Hi all, please consider the following example: \setupindenting[big,yes] \setupfloats[indentnext=yes] % default: no \def\TestFloatPlacement#1% {\input tufte \par \placefigure[#1,nonumber]{place=#1}{} \dorecurse{2}{\input tufte \par} \page} \starttext \TestFloatPlacement{top} \TestFloatPlacement{bottom} \TestFloatPlacement{auto} \TestFloatPlacement{right} \stoptext Only "top" seems to give the right indenting. It worked (at least with "auto") a while ago. I have many floats placed "auto". So is there a quick fix? Greeting Andreas

interactive chapter titles in margin
by Thomas Schmitz 01 Dec '10

01 Dec '10

Hi all, for my document setup, I would like to have interactive chapter headings, and I want the chapter titles in the margins only; they should not interfere with normal indentation, spacing, etc. So far, I haven't really found a solution. Here's a small example (with some code from the wiki): \defineinmargin [ChapterInMargin] [outer] [normal] [distance=0.3em] \setuphead[chapter][style=bold, number=no, expansion=yes, alternative=text, distance=0pt, indentnext=yes, before={\blank[0pt]}, after={\blank[0pt]}, command=\MyChapter, page=no] \def\MyChapter#1#2{\ChapterInMargin{#2}} \setupinteraction[state=start] \placebookmarks[chapter][all][force=yes] \setupindenting[medium,yes] \starttext \startchapter[title=One,bookmark=One] \dorecurse{5}{\input knuth} \stopchapter \startchapter[title=Two,bookmark=Two] \dorecurse{5}{\input tufte} \stopchapter \startchapter[title=Three,bookmark=Three] \dorecurse{5}{\input bryson} \stopchapter \stoptext Can anybody provide an idea what to do? THanks! All best Thomas

itemgroup broken
by Steffen Wolfrum 01 Dec '10

01 Dec '10

Hi, is "\setupitemgroup" broken in current beta? Or did the syntax change? I am missing "symbol", "left", "right", "stopper". They don't seem to work. See example below, please. Thanks, Steffen ----- \defineitemgroup [NumberBracket] \setupitemgroup [NumberBracket] [symbol=2, left={(}, right={)}, stopper=x, itemalign=flushleft] \starttext \startNumberBracket[1] \item foo \item foo \item foo \item foo \item foo \stopNumberBracket \stoptext

bib problems
by Thomas A. Schmitz 01 Dec '10

01 Dec '10

Hi all, the last days have brought a couple of bug reports on bibliographies in ConTeXt. I will try and create a number of examples so Hans can test and debug. In order to facilitate the creation of minimal examples for all users, we have a couple of suggestions: 1. There is now a dedicated page for bibliography support on the wiki; unsurprisingly, it's at http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Bibliographies. For the time being, this page is just a skeleton; you are all invited to contribute. 2. The page contains a link to a sample bib file. This file will be part of the main distribution (and hence of the minimals) under context/tex/texmf-context/bibtex/bib/sample.bib. I will send this file to Hans. At the same time, it is meant as a bibliography for ConTeXt related publications. So if you build minimal examples, please try with this file first. If the error you are reporting is triggered by a certain publication type which is not yet represented in the sample file, please modify the file on your disk, but *remember to add these modifications to the file on the wiki* (http://wiki.contextgarden.net/sample_bib) and drop me a line! If you want to add further ConTeXt related publications, feel free to do so! I will send Hans and Mojca updated versions of this file which I'll pick up on the wiki. 3. As you know, priority in development is given to mkiv. The bib module for mkii was written by Taco, and as far as I understood him, it is quite unlikely that he will have the time to do extensive work on it. Later today, I will try and coordinate the bug reports I can still find in an example. Please add your reports as well. All best Thomas
